Robots, whatever you fucking do, do not join the military. Holy fuck what cunts everyone is, especially the women.
>>28730032
Hey friend. Im in the AF right now. Currently deployed in the sand and it's not that bad. The trick is to not be a fag. Carry on.
>choosing an MOS open to women
>>28730084
Every MOS is open to women now except for 18 series
Been thinking French Foreign Legion desu
or Marines/Navy
>>28730032
I'm thinking about it lad, what exactly is going on.
>>28730076
>not be a fag
never been in a military but i always figured anybody who isn't aspie would be fine
>>28730154
Aspies are legit the backbone of the military, I have so many people to play MtG and D&D with
>>28730104
>not going 18 series or PJ
8 SCOOPS

Nah it's better to pick the easiest job then get out after your first contract
>>28730195
sounds dope desu
i was more referring to people not getting social queues/ not handling banter
>>28730248
Please anon. You don't even need to try that hard to meet those standards.
>>28730314
It's like 6 months of training after OSUT. It's easier to just get assigned to a SF unit without being SF so you can get all of the laid back stuff without doing the training.
>>28730249
You learn quickly
>>28730396
I'm just saying meeting those fitness standards isn't hard or anything. I'd still rather go 18x than 11b(68w in my case) and put in a packet later.
>>28730032
Maybe it's not them, it's you?
>>28730115
americans aren't easily-accepted into FFL (they assume you're a psycho for not joining US military instead), only easier if you already served
dont bother with FFL if you're from a rich country with a good, easy-to-get-into military
Whats the maximum age to join the forces?
I'm currently studying abroad 22 year old, want to work on my engineer field till I'm 25 to 27 but if It doesn't work here abroad or back in the States thinking of joining the army.
Can I get jobs related to IT in the Army at that age? is it hard?
>>28730645
You'll be fine, even 18 series guys can join up to like 30. And if you've got an engineering degree they can write you an age waiver no prob
>>28730645
35 is the age limit without any sort of waiver, and your job selections are based on whats available and your asvab scores mainly
>>28730645
It's like 35, you're good dude.
If you come in with a degree you can either go through OCS to become an officer or join normally and start as an E4
>>28730772
Thanks, do you think I will have a problem if my degree is foreign (Mexico)?. I'm doing computer engineering on a state university because government subsidies them here and its almost free.
I got a GED too.
>>28731043
Will you take the engineering exam when you come back? Or whatever it's called? Or is your school at least accredited?
>>28731043
Eh it shouldn't be a problem, I knew some guy from some slav country with a degree who joined as an E4 without problems
>>28731055
I dunno, I just now it's in the top ten universities of Mexico.

>>28731043
kys mexicunt we have enough tacos already also college degrees
>>28730032
Its exactly why I'm getting out, you don't understand that the standards are being lowered and pandered to those who really don't belong in the military.
>>28730453
I always get really nervous before PT tests.
Doesn't 18x have a high washout rate? I just google it and it looks pretty low, not to mention you can still get passed up for selection.
>>28730032
I was in the Marine Corps.
It's still a decent alternative to suicide, and it's better than not doing anything with your life. Plus, if you get any disability, that's NEET bucks for life and GI bill.
It might not seem like it all the time that you're in, But it's better to have done it than not at all.
>>28732113
Never, never quit. Who cares what washout rates are?
>>28731740
>POG
kek
>>28732479
I never thought about quitting before, few times when I went through basic I thought to myself that I might fail though.
Washoutrates well I look at how other people do to get an impression of what I might be capable of. I wouldn't underestimate that it's difficult if around half the people that sign up are a no go.
>>28732699
I'm not saying take in nonchalant, just that you need to have only success in your mind.
>>28732889
You're probably right about that. I'm just a POG in a reserve branch. Wanted to try to do the college thing but been thinking of trying to go active duty since I didn't sign up to long ago. Don't think I'd ask for an 18x contract although I'd rather do something like that then go for a desk type job. Not sure how it all works though was thinking of trying to talk to a recruiter about it.
>>28733188
You can't reenlistment as an 18x anyway
>>28733246
That kind of thing was never meant for me then. Being a POG is more fun than people ever told me. So much stuff to learn about everything, movies and war documentaries only just cover the shooty bits and not the day to day getting ready for war type stuff.
>>28733310
You can still drop a packet next time SOF recruiters come around, you just can't get an 18x contract
>>28733421
That's good to know. My only real motivation to do something like that though is the training looks like a good challenge and I'd want to see if I'm good enough to complete it. Really kind of want to go active so I don't get lazy on PT. Really frustrated where I'm at right now cause I know I can do better.
Thing that pushed me toward being a POG was I figured SOF guys spent more time training foreign forces than getting to do other stuff.
>>28733605
That is what green berets do.
>>28733708
Okay I knew it was one of those.
I'm kind of a barracks rat so I just like to do stuff to keep me busy.
If I tried out for that kind of thing do you think people would stop telling me I look like a serial killer all the time?
>>28733850
That might select ya just for that
>>28733951
Pshhh you're pretty funny. I don't think I'd hear it as often if I went into a combat MOS.
>>28733951
>>28733951
They want average looking people that can blend in. Most SF operators look like average dads.
>>28734087
I could probably do average dad, like people would probably think I'm with a dependapotamus but still average dad look. That or weird uncle. Weird uncle might be easier.
>>28734087
Oh no doubt. Thats why I'd never get an 18x contract, Rangers suits me and I suit them much better. I also have no interest in teaching Hajis how to boil water and make aspirin
